As a manager of Bear Den Ranch, I take Grandpas old rifles, scope, binoculars and jeep (that reminds me of the tank to drive) to find a very nice point to hunt. From the perch I looked in the splendid landscape of North America and saw the deer’s legs fading into the thicket, that I began to entice earlier with the hard drive. The massive distance of 400 meters could not have been covered anyway on realistic simulation of ballistics and ecosystem with rickety and incorrectly ammunitioned shooting iron, so I prefer to focus my attention on the terrain in front of me.
It takes many, long minutes before something finally moves and a somewhat faded, strange, swaying badger has been flooded with my cross hair. I hold my breath, focus on the shot, the wind, pull the trigger, and clearly hit the animal at heart level. Even though I had thought, the fur bearer stares at me for several seconds, then stands on his paws and falls over over. I’m quite irritated by this and other bugs, with which I can’t expect a patch first, so I’ll wait for my prey again again with lots of luck and patience. It takes an hour to start the game, so fast travel does not take much longer than the restart.
opinion
Fabiola Gunzl thinks that hunting simulation is a dangerous activity despite the indisputable debatable basic topic, and that there’s enough knowledge about animals, the ecosystem and the material of the beast. The best atmosphere in Way of the Hunter is attractive, the licensed equipment and the soundscape are high. Other than that, I was very disappointed by various technical shortcomings such as sound dropouts, clunky and washed-out textures and binoculars that could be put away. Maybe following-up patch can save something but then I would rather have left the shotgun in the closet.
rating
2 hunting grounds each with 144 km localized trophy system.
Realistic ballistics and behavioral models meet involuntary comedy and disappointing techniques in the hunt simulation.
